Filarski Bros. Baja 1000 Prep

I've had Brett's AW shifter in there for years. I wanted to put a new one in but cant seem to track the guy down...

If this is who I think it is, it seems to be an ongoing theme. To bad.

Go with one of these, works great and they ship out fast.

Oh and might want to put nylocks on the spare alternator and starter bolts, they may vibrate loose otherwise.

Looks good, give the other guys a run for it!! They are getting cocky. :jester:

Everything gets Stover in the end.

Qyuick update. 3rd members back together with the new gears and bearings from Motive Gear. Loosnuts Dan came over yesterday and stuck it in the housing.

Mount for the new trans cooler from PWR is done (no pic) and lots of other misc. things that I dont have pics of...

Ryan whipped up a quick mount for the spare front and rear driveshafts.

Loosnuts Dan actually crafted the spare DS mount. He also got all the cracks welded up.

Looking good guys :cheers:

 

[Goatman]

That dash really looks sweet!


Wish I was closer so I could help out some.....

Some great ideas for spare parts mounting, especially the heavy stuff like axle shafts and driveshafts.

I agree, awesome ideas for mounting stuff. I would love to see more pictures of how you guys mount everything else if you could.



How long do you have until the race?

Thanks.
I'll try to get some better pics of that stuff up soon.

I get back into town tonight and Ryan, Scott Hartman and Loose Nuts Dan have all spent quite a bit of time working on the car this past week.

It should be rolling again today and ready to roll into RVMD's paint booth tomorrow.
More pics coming soon. :cheers:

Anything special going on with the paint?

Rumor is that they are going with orange again.

Mounted the spare altenator and starter and the spare steering box (not pictured)

We used to just keep this stuff in a bag that was strapped to the floor that would always eventualy come loose, which could be hazardous...

You should flip that starter over, so dirt falls out and not in.

Good eye

I liked the orange better than the primer grey look.

Agreed. The plan is to tape and seal it off. With the space available, the solenoid didn't allow us to have it flipped over. Nice lookin out.

thats what i get paid the big buc^H^H^H^H^H^Hbeer for.

During the 500 we had to change the air filter 2 seperate times and 3 during the 06 Baja 1000.

This year we're stepping it up though.
The filter used to be a farely normal sized K&N/AEM filter, but Scott Hartman hooked us up with the worlds biggest K&N filter and mounted it in the cab where it belongs...

You can also see the removable race radio mount. The radios face sticks thru the fiber dash... (obviously)

Good god man hahahahaha. Careful you don't have any loose articles of clothing, they'll get sucked in.

Ryan got alot of the holes that were left over from ripping out the heater and AC covered back up.
